The number and scope of NGOs operating within the country has expanded greatly since their initial focus on emergency and disaster relief following independence. Development literature tends to focus on the efficacy of NGOs and their interactions with the state. In this essay, I employ ethnographic fieldwork focusing on the microscale and examine how these broad, international networks of NGOs intersect with the local: small, personal acts of kindness via networks that are facilitated by the space of the city, Dhaka, as illustrated by the aftermath of the brutal murders of LGBTQ activists Xulhaz Mannan and Mahbub Rabbi Tonoy. Immediately after the killings there was international condemnation, but domestically the government seemed reticent to hold accountable those who had committed the murders. As in-depth interviews revealed, many LGBTQ activists in Bangladesh went into hiding or left the country shortly after the murders. However, activists also described a broad network of local NGOs and individuals that ensured their safety. They included a range of local partners, such as local NGOs focused on human rights and advocacy, women's rights and public health, and even those broadly focused on development. These networks were made possible through the city as a site of compassion: a space that enabled local and international actors to come together and shield activists.","PeriodicalId":14327,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Urban and Regional Research","volume":"49 4","pages":"983-990"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144551181","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is a small-N comparative study examining two cities in England and two in Spain: Birmingham in the Midlands and Manchester in the north-west of England, and Seville and Malaga, both in the southern region of Andalusia. Our analysis draws on the literature of political leadership styles informed by the typology of urban leadership developed by John and Cole in 1999. Our core purpose was to advance empirical knowledge of how local leadership styles affect the governance of economic development policy. We do so by identifying the decisive actors involved in the ecosystem of municipal economic development policy, the style of local political leader in each case and the impact of different local government systems in Spain and England on the governance of municipal economic development policy. Our findings point to the scope for further theoretical development of John and Cole's typology to fully capture a shared and collaborative leadership style which our research revealed as increasingly prevalent in local governance.","PeriodicalId":14327,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Urban and Regional Research","volume":"49 4","pages":"815-834"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1468-2427.13325","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144551115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Global cities—and the infrastructures that animate them—share practices of surveillance and bordering, denial of public services and stratified labour markets that constrain migrants to precarious sectors. Stigma plays a crucial role in perpetuating such conditions for migrants, rendering them ‘others’ and ‘outcasts’ that taint cities. Loïc Wacquant's concept of ‘territorial stigmatization’ can be used to explain the spatial process of such exclusions. This article empirically advances the concept by illustrating the relationship between infrastructures and territorial stigmatization that forms one part of a set of multilayered stigmas, and by arguing that territorial stigma is a relational, mobile and multiscale process. Drawing from empirical research with internal migrants working in the construction sector in one of India's fastest-growing cities, Nashik in the state of Maharashtra, this article illustrates how infrastructure plays a role in processes of territorial stigmatization in three main ways. First, continued urbanization and infrastructural development perpetuate the need for stigmatized labour. Second, infrastructures (such as water, sanitation and public services) are crucial in configuring stigmatized spaces. And third, infrastructure enables migration across space and has the potential to reconfigure territorial stigmatization.","PeriodicalId":14327,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Urban and Regional Research","volume":"49 3","pages":"498-513"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1468-2427.13313","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144074475","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By drawing on the perspective of post-politics and agonistic planning theorists, this article examines how citizen participation in the new urban governance has been practiced and orchestrated by a diverse array of players, including government officials, intermediary organizations, and civil society actors. The empirical analysis demonstrates that, first, the participatory planning system is controlled by the government and arranged to produce consensus while avoiding any dissensus, and second, intermediate organizations/actors are invited/trained to guide citizens to the government-defined participation practices. Therefore, the current form of participatory governance in South Korea can be seen as a form of post-politics where the political is ruled out and controlled through de-politicization measures. Building on these findings, this article discusses how the current integration of the state and civil society creates the unique dilemma of participation, and how the Korean experience can enrich the global debate on post-politics.","PeriodicalId":14327,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Urban and Regional Research","volume":"49 3","pages":"708-723"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144074722","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Taking the case study of the Brussels capital region, this article examines the intertwinement of the management of the terrorist threat and urban governance to make the following contributions. First, we argue that threat management builds from geographies of urban social inequality by targeting spaces of relegation and spaces of value. Secondly, we examine how the management of threat draws upon existing logics of integration as a mode of urban governance. Spaces of relegation are integrated through exercising control and influence over the conduct of its population considered at risk of radicalization. Spaces of value, considered as vulnerable to terrorist attacks, are to be integrated through infrastructural interventions. Finally, we observe that the management of threat results in the securitization of integration by harnessing existing socio-economic inequalities. This creates a paradox: while integration aims to mitigate the effects of urban uneven development, its securitization further confines these spaces by reproducing exclusionary techniques.","PeriodicalId":14327,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Urban and Regional Research","volume":"49 4","pages":"835-851"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144551338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The reason for this delay is that there are massive ‘commodification gaps’—institutional barriers to the valorization of land and housing—which could only be overcome with great difficulties. In this article, which is based on an empirical study of gentrification in two second-tier cities in East Germany and Poland, we pick up on this issue and focus on policies that have affected the likelihood of gentrification. We compare two different trajectories of post-socialist gentrification, finding that the course of gentrification has been deeply embedded into the dissimilar political-economic framework of transition in East Germany and Poland. This has led to considerable differences in the timing and geography of upgrading and displacement. We distance ourselves from ‘diffusionist’ views, which portray gentrification as a generalizable trend in which post-socialist cities are ‘latecomers’, based on a model that has been pioneered in Western cities and emphasizes the specificity of gentrifications as well as their embeddedness in national, regional and local political environments.","PeriodicalId":14327,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Urban and Regional Research","volume":"49 3","pages":"531-551"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1468-2427.13321","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144074663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Guided by a desire for social justice for the populations at stake, this dialogue is anchored in a social constructivist approach in which an intersectional understanding of power relations within capitalism, racism and patriarchy informs the methods used, and the interaction between them. The article examines the rent-raising renovations (‘renovictions’) in rental apartments in Kvarngärdet and Gränby, two working-class neighborhoods in Uppsala, Sweden. Intertwining ethnographic and statistical methods, we reveal how displacement affected the lives of the residents in complex ways, even though the neighborhoods were not gentrified. Our approach demonstrates how a combination of methods employed through a continuous exchange between researchers who work with different tools but share similar ontological standpoints can provide insights on displacement which cannot easily be captured. The results of the study are presented in three dimensions: the epistemological, the methodological and the empirical, concluding that a social constructivist dialectical mixed-methods approach is needed to bridge ontological gaps between methods, and to capture the intricate aspects involved in displacement processes.","PeriodicalId":14327,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Urban and Regional Research","volume":"49 4","pages":"852-875"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1468-2427.13318","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144551319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
